This project investigates the role of active galactic nuclei in heating gas within nearby galaxy groups to prevent excessive cooling and star formation. By utilizing X-ray and radio observations, it aims to enhance understanding of galaxy structure formation in these environments.
The aim of this proposal is to perform a survey of feedback heating in nearby galaxy groups.
Simulations of galaxy and large-scale structure formation show that a heat source is needed to prevent excessive gas cooling and overproduction of stars.
The best candidate is heating by active galactic nuclei (AGN), the supermassive black holes in the cores of galaxies which, when they accrete cooling gas, can emit powerful jets of relativistic particles. AGN feedback has been investigated in galaxy clu…
